THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS FOR
RECREATION

Why do SO few of our young men go
West for recreation? There is no land
where nature rerceates a man as she
does there. You literally renew your
youth. The climate is invigorating be-
yond words. For nervously exhausted
men, for weary brains, there is simply
nothing to touch it. I have gone to the
rocky mountains thoroughly tagged
out, unable to sleep well or eat well-life
burden, and work an impending hor-
ror. In fortnight had been eating as
many meals day as could prevail on
my men to cook, and have been glad to
fill up chance spaces IN my internal econ
omy with raw bacon. Yes, many time
after monumental dinner, when we
have gone into camp at five in the aft
ernoon, have eaten with relish that
most lasting of all provisions-a piece of
raw bacon before turning in. 1t is true,
phere of the mountains trying to chest
or heart, and many also complain of
loss of appetite and loss of sleep; but if
the man is sound in limb and lung, and
if he does not overdo it or over. exert
himself at the very beginning, but does
take regular exercise, in ten days or so
all life seems to waken within him; he
may not sleep SO long or SO heavily, for he
has probably camped at an altitude of
eight or nine thousand feet excellent
camping places are sometimes found at
a height of ten thousand feet or over
and he does not need as much sleep as
though he were at sea level. He may
puff and blow like grampus as he faces
a moderate hill; for he has scarcely real
lied yet that the atmosphere is so rare
that he must boil his potatoes Gf he is
lucky enough to have any for at least
two hours, and he will do better if he
boil them all the morning, and that he
cannot, by twenty -four hours boiling
make beans soft enough to feed to his
horse. But he is growing younger, not
older. The world of cark and care seems
very far away, walled out by the heavy
mists that roll up from the plains. What
fool he was to bother his soul as he did
with thousand useless thingsl-Ieev.

MARIE ANToINETrE

Marie Antoinette was in no way a NO
man fitted for affairs of state She was
simply a woman. That was her charm
and her misfortune. There was no trace
in her of the genius OF her mother, Maria
Theresa. She was simply young Vien-
nese Princess. Fond Of pleasure, and
sympathetic, she was too proud of her
rank and birth and too disdaintul of the
opinions of the world to sacrifice to them
even triAing caprice. Frivolous, but
little educated, never reading, difficult
to advise and impatient of schooling
which bored her, she judged OF policies
by persons. and by persons from the opin-
ions Of it's lotteries. With little judy
meut she had plenty of courage. but her
valor was apt to dissipate itself in anger
and tears. Her heart nevertheless was
noble, and honor was with her a passion.
When the dignity OF the crown seemed
compromised or lowered-when it was
outraged amid provocation and insult,
she hardened herself against attack, and
one coald then recognize in her the
daughter NJ Maria Theresa" Europe
and the French Revolution" by Albert
SOreI.

A MONUMENT OF TREES.

William Cullen Bryant, the poet, who
lived at RoslyD, l.. l., was very fond
of all the beauties of nature, but es.
pecially loved trees whether of forest
orchard.
In his Forest Hymn" he says "The
groves we're Gods first temples" and be
wrote a poem on the planting of the
Apple-Tree," which YVES said to be one of
his favorites among all his writings.
He thought enough of trees to bring
slip from trees under which he had
played IS boy at Cummington, Mass,
and plant them in his garden ID Roslyp.
After he died his neighbors and friends
in Resign put very beautiful and fit
ting memorial of him on the village
green. They planted group Of trees
from the very ones that Mr.. Bryant had
brought from his childhood home. They
will always be known as the Bryant
trees, and as they grow year after year,
stretching their branches heavenward
they will stand a beautiful reminder OF
the poet who loved all of Natures works,
much more appropriate than any chisel-
ed granite monument could be.
He is buried in the Roslyn cemetery
and on the shaft above his grave there is
no eulogizing cpl aph. simply the name
and dates. On the other side, beneath
the name Of his wife, is a tribute to her
which he himself wrote.

THE oLD-TIME MEETING HOUSE.

THE OLD-TIME MEETING HOUSE.
Ii we would carry ourselves back to
those days, and were to approach New
England village about nine o'clock on
Sunday morning, we should hear some
one beating drum or sounding horn,
or blowing conch shell, or possibly ring
ing bell to call people to worship. AS
we came nearer still we should see flag
waving from little log-built church, or
meeting house." Entering the village we
should see strong fe-ce OF stakes around
this meeting house, and sentinel in
armor standing near it, and we should see
some of the men as they went in, leaving
their Duskets under his care. We should
perhaps see a cannon or two planted
near the meeting house, and we should
also see some strange wooden frames net
far off, these being the stocks and pillory
put there to punish offenders. Looking
at this church itself, we could see that it
had very few glass windows, and that
these had very small and thick panee,
we should observe that the other win
dows had oiled paper instead of glass,
and we should see between the windows
the heads of wolves that had been killed
and displayed there during the past year.
Ii we we're to look inside the little
church we should not see families sitting
together as now, but they would be dis
tributed according to age or sex, or rank
In those days the old men sat together in
one place in church, the young men in
another, the young women in another.
The boys sat on the pulpit stairs and in
the gallery, with constables to guard
! them. Each of these constables had
wand with hare's foot on one end and
hare's tail on the other. These were to
keep people awake. If any woman went
to sleep the constable touched her on the
forehead with the hare's tail, but if q
small boy nodded, he was raped with the
other end not quite SO gently. No doubt
the wand was often used, for the services
were sometimes three or four hours long,
the sexton turning the hour glass before
the minister at the end of every hour.
The only music consisted of singing by
the congregation from metrical version
of the Psalms, called "The Bay Psalm
Book" The whole number of tunes
known to the people did not exceed ten.
This was the Puritan form of religious
worship, and people we're not allowed to
stay at home from it, for men called
tithing men were sent to look for those
who were absent. They were fined for
every unnecessary absence, and if they
stayed away month together they might
be put in the stocks or into a wooden
cage.-T. w. H6gginson.

ROYAL AFFECTION.

Queen Margherita, of Italy, possesses a
coral necklace which she always wears,
day and night. II the Queen wears a
dress with which the ornament does not
harmonize, she keeps the necklace on, al
though hidden. The following story is
told in connection with the necklaces:
Five years ago the italian Crown Prince,
Victor Emmanuel, was out walking in
Venice with his tutor. He noticed some
corals in jewelers. window which
pleased him very much. II shall buy
those for my mother" he said; and SO
saying entered the shop to ask the price
OF the corals. On hearing the sum, he
said: IL have not SO much money at pres
emit, but 1 will make you an offer. I will
buy five corals to-day and you may keep
the rest for me, and as often as 1 have
saved some money I will send it to you
and you will send me as many of the re-
naming corals as the money will buy"
The bargain was concluded, but two
years elapsed before the Prince had the
pleasure OF presenting his mother with
the necklace. The Queen on hearing
the circumstances of the purchase, was
very much affected and said to her son
"This is now the most precious of all my
jewels, and will never cease to wear it,
for it will always remind me of your ten
der love for me-"

AGASSIZ'S MOTHER.

Agassiz was the favorite son of his
mother, who was the wife of Swiss Pro-
teetant clergyman. Prof. Silliman, of
Yale College, visited her in 1851, when
she was nearly fourscore, and found her
"erect, tall, and dignifed." Her address
was animated, and her manners placed
the foreign guest at his ease.
As soon as the Professor told her that
he was friend of Louis" and that his
adopted country esteemed him among it's
most precious possessions, "her strong
frame was agitated, her voice trembled
with emotion, and the flowing tears told
the story of a mothers heart"
The next morning she walked long
distance in the rain, to bid her sons
friend farewell. She presented to Mrs
Silliman little bouquet of pansies, and
bade them tell her cher pensees were all
for him." In French, pensee means both
pansy and thought.
Agassiz's tiftieth birthday was celebrat.
ed by the Saturday Club with a specia
dinner, at which Longfellow, Holmes
and Lowell read poems. Longfellow's
poem represented Nature as taking the
boy by the hand, and leading him to his
vocation of discovering her secrets. At
last there came stanza which repre-
scented the natural mother as mourning
over the fact that the great mother had
drawn her son from the freside where
she wished to keep him:
And the mother at home says, 'Harkl
For his voice listen and yearn;
1t is growing late and dark,
And my boy does not return"
As Longfellow read the poem in a
quiet, subdued tone, Agassiz's head was
bent modestly down. There was a mus
ing smile on his lips, as he recalled the
scenes of his youth. But when the allu-
sion TO his mother came, his rudy face
flushed with restrained feeling, tears
gathered in his eyes, and as the last line
was uttered, they dropped slowly down
his cheeks, one after another.
But Agassiz soon recovered himself
an6, with his eyes still glistening, bowed
and smiled his Acknowledgements to the
poet.

The ftonre Circle.
THE DEPARTED.

And yet, dear heart, remembering thee,
Am net richer than of old?
Safe in thy immortality,
What change can reach the wealth holdi
What change can mar the pearl and gold
Thy love hath left in trust with me?
And while in life's late afternoon,
Where cool and long the shadows grow,
Iwalk to meet the night that soon
Shall shape and shadow overflow,
cannot feel that thou art far,
Since near at need the angels are;
And when the sunset gates unbar
Shall not see thee waiting stand,
And, white against the evening star.
The welcome of thy reckoning handl
Yet love will dream and faith will trust
Since He who knows our need is JUST
That somehow, somewhere, meet we must.
Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through his cypress treesl
Who hopeless lays his dead away,
Nor looks to see the breaking day
Across the mournful marbles playl
Who hath not learned in hours of faith
The truth of flesh and sense unknown,
That Life is ever lord of Death,
And Love can never lose its ownl
Whittier in SnolU Bound. "

Now that the cholera has again ap-
peared in Italy, it is interesting to recall
this story of King Humbert, as told by
Miss Alexander. II saw" she wrote, ''a
lady little while ago married to Pied
montese, who was at Busca. just where
the cholera was worst, in the summer of
1884, when the king went there and she
gave me an interesting account of it all.
She said every one was in a panic and
afraid to go near the sick people; but the
king took hold as if he had been
hospital nurse, always going where the
danger was greatest, sitting by the beds
Of the sick, administering their med
icnes. rubbing them with spirit when the
chill came, giving food, advice or money
as they we're wanted, sometimes sympa-
thizinR, sometimes laughing and TESTING
to keep up their hearts, until others
came forward to help, just for shame.
And in the evening, when he went to rest
tired out, and his servants came about to
change his clothes and fumigate' him,
he used to smile at their anxieties, and
then raise his eyes to heaven as if to say,
There is where my safety comes fromp
OF course this did not suit every one, and
there was some talk of law to prevent
sovereigns from risking their lives; but
Humbert said if they did so, he should
be the first to break it, and as every one
knew that be would keep his word, there
was no more said about it,"

ACTION OF DROWNING PERSONS

ACTION OF DROWNING PERSONS.
81 believe 1 can tell just by the clutch
how many times drowning person has
been down" musingly remarked Edward
Horn, of the ferry company, and the man
who has saved sixty four lives. "The first
trip down they go for you with firm de-
cided clutch that means they still know
what they are about. The second INNER
sion causes shaky, uncertain grip which
can easily be broken if you 80 choose. 1t
is the last time down that the grasp be-
comes a convulsive, bewildered one, and
but few swimmers can save person
after the unfortunate man has descended
for the third time. Almost invariably
the drowning man on his final journey
below the water will seize his preserver
by the legs. 1t would be easier to save
q whole river full of men than one drown
ing woman. She will seize your hands
and legs il she can get hold of one or
both of them. A woman will drown
quicker than a man. She opens her
mouth from the time she first strikes the
water and never closes it, and so loses
her senses more easily. Yes, l saw one
person die of strangulation while we
were under water together. His eyes
were wonderfully fascinating as he star
ed helplessly at me. You may not be-
lieve, but they shone like two balls of
fire. Detroit Tribune.
